Description Jason Montleon 2012-02-24 23:59:29 UTC

Description of problem:
After installing Fedora 17 Alpha (RC4) the options to 'Restart' and 'Shut Down' are greyed out  when I click the 'Log Out' menu item. I never did anything special before to get this working in Fedora 16.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -qa | grep xfce4
xfce4-power-manager-1.0.10-3.fc17.x86_64
libxfce4ui-4.8.1-2.fc17.x86_64
xfce4-mixer-4.8.0-3.fc17.x86_64
xfce4-session-4.8.3-1.fc17.x86_64
libxfce4util-4.8.2-2.fc17.x86_64
xfce4-doc-4.8.3-5.fc17.noarch
xfce4-appfinder-4.9.3-2.fc17.x86_64
xfce4-panel-4.8.6-4.fc17.x86_64
xfce4-session-engines-4.8.3-1.fc17.x86_64
libxfce4util-devel-4.8.2-2.fc17.x86_64
xfce4-settings-4.8.3-4.fc17.x86_64
libxfce4ui-devel-4.8.1-2.fc17.x86_64
xfce4-icon-theme-4.4.3-6.fc17.noarch
xfce4-panel-devel-4.8.6-4.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
Seems always. I have noticed this on a couple installs now

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 17
2. Start an Xfce session
3. Click Log Out
  
Actual results:
Restart and Shut Down are greyed out.

Expected results:
Restart and Shut Down are not greyed out and function as expected.

Additional info:
This works without any additional configuration in F16.

OK, searching on Google told me I should install ConsoleKit and that seems to have fixed it.

Comment 2 Jason Montleon 2012-02-25 00:18:11 UTC

Probably an unintended consequence of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ckremoval

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2012-02-25 00:23:23 UTC

Yeah. 

We are looking at switching login managers...which would make that not needed, but it's not landed in time for alpha. Sorry.

Comment 4 rvcsaba 2012-04-18 16:59:07 UTC

Same problem in Fedora 17 beta.

Log Out is OK, but Restart and Shut Down buttons are grayed out.

I hope...

How did you install Xfce?

Comment 6 rvcsaba 2012-04-18 17:24:22 UTC

I boot from this 193 MB image:

http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/fedora/linux/development/17/i386/os/images/boot.iso

I use custom package select, I checked Gnome and Xfce desktop environment. Clean install, not an upgrade.

Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2012-04-18 17:31:11 UTC

ok. I didn't fix this in comps, only the kickstart file. 

Should be fixed now. 

If you manually do: 

yum install ConsoleKit

does everything start working?

Comment 8 rvcsaba 2012-04-18 17:43:19 UTC

This distribution leave ConsoleKit. This is not problem?

Comment 9 Kevin Fenzi 2012-04-18 17:49:06 UTC

A long term one, sure... but not a short term one. For now we still need ConsoleKit and it's still shipped.

Comment 10 rvcsaba 2012-04-18 17:53:11 UTC

OK, thank you! I installed ConsoleKit, and solved my problem.

Comment 11 Kevin Fenzi 2013-02-03 02:53:34 UTC

Great.
